So, I am off to Asia again for another work trip. On the itinerary this time, mostly Shanghai and the surrounding areas + another really quick trip back to Taipei. In fact, I'm writing this post from the Lounge at the Taoyuan airport while I'm sipping on some Yakult and eating braised beef noodle soup (don't ask me why, it's sort of become a traditions. haha. Gotta love the transfers.) But I'm only gone for 2 weeks this time, so you won't be missing me that much.

In the meantime, you can always find me on INSTAGRAM as I'm sure China hasn't blocked that YET! @standeviationco

Balmain Homme Fall/Winter 2012 is just what I expect from one of my favorite houses... perfectly executed collection in it's sharply tailored minimalist cuts. The color palette is lush and rich and the details are spot on. As always, for my favorite pieces are the outerwear offerings in lush wools and leathers. Something quilted and fur-trimmed is a must for this season!

Japanese label Howl Fall / Winter 2012 Menswear Lookbook is full of wearable and covetable pieces. Punk influences mixed with a 50s sporty twist, the looks are a modern way to be a rebel. I absolutely love the results. Favorite pieces include the mixed fabric pullover sweatshirt and the patchwork slim jeans. Oh so good!

Pendleton Fall / Winter 2012 "Portland" menswear lookbook just dropped and we are pretty happy with it. The aesthetic is classic americana with a twist...and apparently designed with Portland in mind (hence the name, duh!). But, it definitely has a much wider appeal.

Currently coveting the blanket vest, blanket coat and the accessories!
